Holly is a stay-at-home-mom to seven children; hence the name of her blog. When she contacted me, she just had a generic header that was part of her template and wanted to personalize her blog. She asked for a header with a mom and a lot of children, possibly even a farmhouse. Since [...]

Thanks so much to all who participated. If you signed the Mr. Linky at either this site or at Mama’s Coffee Corner, I will create and install a custom header on your blog for only $20.
The winner of the free header is Suzel of Feeding Your Heart. Congratulations!

Imagine you are looking for a place to rent. You walk into the first place on your list, and everything in the empty dwelling is white: white floors, white ceilings, white walls, white trim. Rather unimpressed, you scurry to the next apartment. As you walk into this apartment, you are greeted by [...]

My friend, Linda, and I both recently began new blogs (Mama’s Coffee Corner for Linda and RS Designs for me) and thought it would be fun to collaborate to create a kickoff contest. We will be holding the contest for one week, beginning today. (May 17-24) Winners will be announced on May 25.

I most sincerely wish all of you ladies a happy Mother’s Day, but I’d particularly like to mention other Work-At-Home-Moms.

This header was an interesting journey. The concept was simple: D. wanted a photo of a bay (or similar feature) with a lighthouse. Piece of cake, right?
Nope. I couldn’t find a single (free) photo - this was for a free header - that I thought was appropriate. Then I remembered [...]

I thought I’d share some of my favorite and most helpful links.

Especially helpful was Paul Stamatiou’s explanation of how to create blog header graphics. His tutorial is based off of Photoshop CS2, but Microsoft Picture It! Photo 7.0, the software I use (because it came with the Microsoft Works Suite 2003 when we purchased [...]

This header was fairly simple to create. Michelle already had her image and liked the layout and font of Simple Pleasures. I just needed to re-size her image, change the text, and adjust the color of the sample header. Oh, yes. To me, the blog title suggested a lipstick imprint of [...]

I know I’ve said this a few dozen times already, but I love this design! I made this for a review blog my sister, Sho, was planning to start. She had already picked out the title but said she had no ideas for the header. When I kept trying to pick her [...]
